NEWS: A 19-year-old admitted keeping dogs to hunt wild mammals.

Charles Ross Clark was given a suspended sentence after he admitted a string of cruelty to animals offences.

He was also banned from keeping dogs for 10 years, ordered to pay £450 in court costs, must carry out 200 hours of unpaid work and also comply with a curfew between 7pm and 7am for 12 weeks.

Charles Ross Clark - known as Ross - was caught as part of Operation Morpheus, which was led last August by the RSPCA’s special operations unit in partnership with North Wales Police.

The 19-year-old appeared at Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court on Monday 1 September when he pleaded guilty to five charges, including one charge of keeping two dogs for use in connection with fighting wild animals.

Clark, of Gorad Road, Valley, near Holyhead, also admitted two separate charges of causing unnecessary suffering to two dogs under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and two charges of possession of a dead badger, contrary to the Protection of Badgers Act 1992.

RSPCA inspector Vikki Dawe said: “The sentence passed down shows just how serious these offences are taken by the courts.

“It sends out a strong and clear message to anyone who thinks they can take their dogs out into the countryside to fight wild animals.
